Chapter 84 Anger from All Directions!
Jeffery sat comfortably, smiling. "I don't want anything else from you. Just a small favor to contact your boss. My friend made a mistake, and a few more days in detention might teach him a lesson."
Jeffery's face was full of sinister satisfaction.
In this situation, Raymond lost to his wife.
It was his weakness.
Raymond pondered for a moment and nodded. "Alright, I'll ask him."
A few minutes later, Raymond left his office and drove to a brightly lit office building. He knocked on the door and entered only after receiving a response.
At this moment, Alvin was busy handling company affairs and working late into the night.
"Raymond, what brings you here so late?" Alvin said warmly, picking up a cup of coffee, blowing on it, and taking a sip.
Alvin had a good impression of Raymond, who was meticulous in his work and a promising talent in the company.
Raymond walked in with some documents and said, "Mr. Lopez, here are the documents you requested. I've organized them and prepared the reports. Please have a look and let me know if you need any instructions."
As he spoke, Raymond handed the documents to Alvin.
Alvin was momentarily stunned, his face turning sour.
Did Raymond come to bother him with such a trivial matter that he had to supervise personally?
Alvin set down his cup, looking displeased. "Raymond, do you really need to come to me for such a small matter? Are you out of your mind or what?"
Raymond braced himself and said, "Mr. Lopez, it might be a small issue, but I felt it needed your review. You'll understand once you see the report."
Alvin understood. He then nodded and said impatiently, "Fine, handle it yourself. No need to inform me."
Alvin left the small matter to Raymond to handle on his own.
After receiving the order, Raymond left.
As soon as Raymond left, the landline on Alvin's desk rang.
When he answered the call, a polite voice came from the other end. " Mr. Lopez, this is Alan."
"Mr. Jordan, calling me this late at night. What’s going on?" Alvin recognized Alan and knew his influence ran deep.
"Mr. Lopez, I'm calling this late because your people have arrested a friend of mine. I hope you can release him as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings. There seems to be a mistake." Alan said in a calm tone, not one of negotiation.
Alvin naturally understood the implications. He raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice. "Mr. Jordan, my people won't arrest anyone without reason. Our company values integrity and fairness. Please rest assured. I will look into this."
"I am willing to believe in you, Mr. Lopez, but there must be a misunderstanding regarding my friend. I hope you can help clarify the situation." Alan's words were already quite clear.
Alvin frowned, displeased with Alan's attitude.
'Alan, you dare to speak to me like this, even though I have never caused trouble for you before!'
'We both come from humble beginnings and have made our way up!'
"Mr. Jordan, we are all business people who value rules. If your friend is really not involved, he will be released." Alvin's tone also turned cold.
"Since Mr. Lopez said so, I will believe it. I hope Mr. Lopez can handle this quickly and help me out." Alan replied.
The call ended abruptly.
Alvin was furious and slammed the table!
'Who does Alan think he is to speak to me like that?'
If it weren't for Alan's successful transformation and his philanthropic deeds, Alvin would have confronted him long ago.
Now, Alan dared to raise his voice at him.
Who exactly did his company's people arrest tonight?
Alvin felt uneasy, frowning. He thought that this matter was related to what Raymond had just mentioned.
Just as he was about to go out and ask in person, his phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, Alvin was filled with excitement.
"Hello, Mr. George. What made you think to call me?" Alvin spoke with utmost respect.
George Clark was the richest man in Lindwood City.
Many people wanted to befriend him.
Alvin was no exception.
He was a prominent businessman in Lindwood City, practically a symbol of the city's reputation.
"Mr. Lopez, I won't beat around the bush. Your people mistakenly arrested my son, and I hope you can release him as soon as possible," George said politely, but his words carried an undeniable authority.
Alvin was truly shocked this time!
George's son?
Oh God!
Did the richest man in Lindwood City have a son?
What kind of background is this?
"Don't worry, Mr. Clark. I'll personally go check it out. It must be a misunderstanding. I'll get back to you shortly," Alvin said, not daring to delay.
This matter couldn't be postponed!
What exactly were the people below doing?
How dare they randomly arrest George's son!
Alvin was both panicked and furious.
"Mr. Lopez, I must thank you for this. Next year, I'm planning to invest ten billion dollars to support the stable development of your company and boost your market performance," said George.
Alvin was completely stunned!
Ten billion dollars!
For the investment of his company?
"Thank you so much for your strong support of our work! I will personally handle this. Please wait a moment. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
Alvin kept thanking him. After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and snapped out of his shock.
He hurriedly put on his coat and hat, ready to rush out the door.
Amid his excitement, there was also anger!
How dare they randomly arrest people, even George's son!
These people were too audacious!
At this moment, the landline rang again.
Already anxious, Alvin snatched up the receiver and snapped, “Who is it? Can't you call back later?"
His attitude was unfriendly.
But from the other end of the phone came a cold snort, "Alvin, now you dare to shout at me. Have you changed your profession so that you don't even recognize me, Andres?"
His tone was icy, filled with anger.
Alvin trembled all over and quickly looked at the caller ID. "Andres? You've misunderstood! I had an urgent matter here, so."
A cold snort came from the phone, and Alvin's eyelids jumped.
Andres, a man like a mountain!
With a strong background!
Absolutely not to be trifled with!
His friends were all tough guys!
When Alvin was still a nobody, he had worked under him.
"I don't care what urgent matter you have. Today, your people, without any distinction, have randomly arrested my honored guest. You must immediately find out the situation and then release the person!" Andres said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Alvin's scalp went numb!
Damn it!
How could they arrest Andres' honored guest?
What the hell was going on?
Alvin was sweating profusely and anxiously and said, "Rest assured, Sir. I will personally go and investigate. Give me a quarter of an hour and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Good, I'll give you a quarter of an hour! If there is a minute's delay, you can roll out of Lindwood City, and I will acquire your company!" Andres said angrily.
The call ended.
Alvin was completely exhausted, his head buzzing.
Something went wrong!
Something big happened!
'Raymond, who the hell did you get me into?'
Alvin ran out in a hurry and asked the driver to drive to the scene immediately.
On the way, he found out that his men had arrested someone tonight.
This person.
Had alarmed Alan, George, and even Andres!
It was serious!
What kind of power and background was this?
What the hell did the idiots under his command do to anger so many people?
As soon as he got out of the car, Alvin stormed into the office.
Everyone still at work stood up when they saw him, too scared to make a sound.
Why?
Because it was obvious, he was here to hold someone accountable!
"Raymond! Get your ass out here!" Alvin shouted, kicking open Raymond's office door.
At this moment, Raymond was arguing with his wife in the office.
He was demanding she return the keys, but she refused, leading to a big fight.
Without time to say anything, Raymond hung up the phone and hurriedly went up to greet him with a smile. "Sir, why do you come in person? What's wrong?"
Alvin slammed the table. He then pointed at Raymond's nose and scolded, "Look at what you did! Where's the person? Where is he being held?"
